After 100 days in office, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, according to former aviation minister Femi Fani-Kayode, has accomplished more than the administration of Muhammadu Buhari did in many years.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Nigeria had a diplomatic spat during the time that Muhammadu Buhari was in office, leading to the UAE’s visa restriction on Nigerians and the suspension of flights to the west African country.
Since October 2022, nothing has changed.
According to earlier reporting by Infostride News, the presidency announced on Monday that Tinubu and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, had met in Abu Dhabi to finalize a historic agreement that would end the visa ban on Nigerian travelers immediately.
Former PDP leader and current member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Femi Fani-Kayode said that the current administration has accomplished in a matter of days what the previous government failed to accomplish in a period of years.
Our President has, in just a few days, restored Nigeria to the forefront of world affairs, where she belonged all along.
“After a fantastic outing in India at the G20 summit, which has attracted billions of dollars in investment to our country and where he rightly told world leaders that they cannot do without Nigeria, he went to the UAE and ensured that the visa ban on Nigerians was lifted, as well as a resolution to the trapped Emirati funds at Central Bank and the issue of flight routes and air travel between our two countries. In just a few days, you managed to do all of this.
The previous administration was unable to accomplish these goals despite years of arduous and even contentious talks.
I am really pleased with our President, and it is evident that Nigeria is once again flourishing thanks to his leadership.
In addition to reviving our faith and optimism, he has shown the world that Great Nigeria, the Giant of Africa, is once again flourishing. To God be the glory.
